The commutator subgroup is important because it is the smallest [[normal subgroup]] such that the [[quotient group]] of the original group by this subgroup is [[abelian group|abelian]]. In other words, ''G''/''N'' is abelian if and only if ''N'' contains the commutator subgroup. So in some sense it provides a measure of how far the group is from being abelian; the larger the commutator subgroup is, the "less abelian" the group is.
 
== Commutators ==
{{main|commutator}}
For elements ''g'' and ''h'' of a group ''G'', the [[commutator]] of ''g'' and ''h'' is <math> [g,h] := g^{-1}h^{-1}gh </math>.  The commutator [''g'',''h''] is equal to the identity element ''e'' if and only if ''gh'' = ''hg'', that is, if and only if ''g'' and ''h'' commute.  In general, ''gh'' = ''hg''[''g'',''h''].
 
An element of ''G'' which is of the form [''g'',''h''] for some ''g'' and ''h'' is called a commutator.  The identity element ''e'' = [''e'',''e''] is always a commutator, and it is the only commutator if and only if ''G'' is [[abelian group|abelian]].
 
Here are some simple but useful commutator identities, true for any elements ''s'', ''g'', ''h'' of a group ''G'':
 
* <math>[g,h]^{-1} = [h,g].</math>
* <math>[g,h]^s = [g^s,h^s]</math>, where <math>g^s = s^{-1}gs</math>, the [[commutator#Identities|conjugate]] of g by s.
* For any homomorphism ''f'': ''G'' → ''H'', ''f''([''g'',''h'']) = [''f''(''g''),''f''(''h'')].
 
The first and second identities imply that the set of commutators in ''G'' is closed under inversion and under conjugation.  If in the third identity we take ''H'' = ''G'', we get that the set of commutators is stable under any endomorphism of ''G''.  This is in fact a generalization of the second identity, since we can take ''f'' to be the conjugation automorphism <math> x \mapsto x^s </math>.
 
However, the product of two or more commutators need not be a commutator.  A generic example is [''a'',''b''][''c'',''d''] in the [[free group]] on ''a'',''b'',''c'',''d''.  It is known that the least order of a finite group for which there exists two commutators whose product is not a commutator is 96; in fact there are two nonisomorphic groups of order 96 with this property.<ref>{{harvtxt|Suárez-Alvarez}}</ref>
 
== Definition ==
This motivates the definition of the '''commutator subgroup''' [''G'',''G''] (also called the '''derived subgroup''', and denoted ''G&prime;'' or ''G''<sup>(1)</sup>) of ''G'': it is the subgroup [[generating set of a group|generated]] by all the commutators.
 
It follows from the properties of commutators that any element of [''G'',''G''] is of the form
 
:<math>[g_1,h_1] \cdots [g_n,h_n] </math>
 
for some natural number ''n'', where the ''g''<sub>''i''</sub> and ''h''<sub>''i''</sub> are elements of ''G''. Moreover, since <math> ([g_1,h_1] \cdots [g_n,h_n])^s = [g_1^s,h_1^s] \cdots [g_n^s,h_n^s]</math>, the commutator subgroup is normal in ''G''. For any homomorphism ''f'': ''G'' → ''H'',
 
:<math> f([g_1,h_1] \cdots [g_n,h_n]) = [f(g_1),f(h_1)] \cdots [f(g_n),f(h_n)] </math>,
 
so that <math>f([G,G]) \leq [H,H]</math>.
 
This shows that the commutator subgroup can be viewed as a [[functor]] on the category of groups, some implications of which are explored below.  Moreover, taking ''G'' = ''H'' it shows that the commutator subgroup is stable under every endomorphism of ''G'': that is, [''G'',''G''] is a [[fully characteristic subgroup]] of ''G'', a property which is considerably stronger than normality. 
 
The commutator subgroup can also be defined as the set of elements ''g'' of the group which have an expression as a product ''g'' = ''g''<sub>1</sub> ''g''<sub>2</sub> ... ''g<sub>k</sub>'' that can be rearranged to give the identity.
 
=== Derived series ===
This construction can be iterated:
:<math>G^{(0)} := G</math>
:<math>G^{(n)} := [G^{(n-1)},G^{(n-1)}] \quad n \in \mathbf{N}</math>
The groups <math>G^{(2)}, G^{(3)}, \ldots</math> are called the '''second derived subgroup''', '''third derived subgroup''', and so forth, and the descending [[normal series]]
:<math>\cdots \triangleleft G^{(2)} \triangleleft G^{(1)} \triangleleft G^{(0)} = G</math>
is called the '''derived series'''. This should not be confused with the '''[[lower central series]]''', whose terms are <math>G_n := [G_{n-1},G]</math>, not <math>G^{(n)} := [G^{(n-1)},G^{(n-1)}]</math>.
 
For a finite group, the derived series terminates in a [[perfect group]], which may or may not be trivial. For an infinite group, the derived series need not terminate at a finite stage, and one can continue it to infinite [[ordinal number]]s via [[transfinite recursion]], thereby obtaining the '''transfinite derived series''', which eventually terminates at the [[perfect core]] of the group.
 
=== Abelianization ===
Given a group ''G'', a [[quotient group]] ''G''/''N'' is abelian if and only if [''G'',''G''] ≤ ''N''.  
 
The quotient ''G''/[''G'',''G''] is an abelian group called the '''abelianization''' of ''G'' or ''G'' '''made abelian'''.<ref>{{harvtxt|Fraleigh|1976|p=108}}</ref> It is usually denoted by ''G''<sup>ab</sup> or ''G''<sub>ab</sub>.
 
There is a useful categorical interpretation of the map <math>\varphi: G \rightarrow G^{\operatorname{ab}}</math>. Namely <math>\varphi</math> is universal for homomorphisms from ''G'' to an abelian group ''H'': for any abelian group ''H'' and homomorphism of groups ''f'': ''G'' → ''H'' there exists a unique homomorphism ''F'': ''G''<sup>ab</sup> → ''H'' such that <math>f = F \circ \varphi</math>.  As usual for objects defined by universal mapping properties, this shows the uniqueness of the abelianization ''G''<sup>ab</sup> up to canonical isomorphism, whereas the explicit construction ''G'' → ''G''/[''G'',''G''] shows existence.
 
The abelianization functor is the [[adjoint functors|left adjoint]] of the inclusion functor from the category of abelian groups to the category of groups.
 
Another important interpretation of <math>G^{\operatorname{ab}}</math> is as ''H''<sub>1</sub>(''G'','''Z'''), the first [[homology group]] of ''G'' with integral coefficients.
 
=== Classes of groups ===
A group ''G'' is an '''[[abelian group]]''' if and only if the derived group is trivial: [''G'',''G''] = {''e''}. Equivalently, if and only if the group equals its abelianization. See above for the definition of a group's abelianization.
 
A group ''G'' is a '''[[perfect group]]''' if and only if the derived group equals the group itself: [''G'',''G''] = ''G''. Equivalently, if and only if the abelianization of the group is trivial. This is "opposite" to abelian.
 
A group with <math>G^{(n)}=\{e\}</math> for some ''n'' in '''N''' is called a '''[[solvable group]]'''; this is weaker than abelian, which is the case ''n'' = 1.
 
A group with <math>G^{(n)} \neq \{e\}</math> for any ''n'' in '''N''' is called a '''non solvable group'''.
 
A group with <math>G^{(\alpha)}=\{e\}</math> for some [[ordinal number]], possibly infinite, is called a '''[[perfect radical|hypoabelian group]]'''; this is weaker than solvable, which is the case α is finite (a natural number).
 
== Examples ==
* The commutator subgroup of the [[alternating group]] ''A''<sub>4</sub> is the [[Klein four group]].
* The commutator subgroup of the [[symmetric group]] ''S<sub>n</sub>'' is the [[alternating group]] ''A<sub>n</sub>''.
* The commutator subgroup of the [[quaternion group]] ''Q'' = {1, &minus;1, ''i'', &minus;''i'', ''j'', &minus;''j'', ''k'', &minus;''k''} is [''Q'',''Q'']={1, &minus;1}.
* The commutator subgroup of the [[fundamental group]] π<sub>1</sub>(''X'') of a path-connected topological space ''X'' is the kernel of the natural homomorphism onto the first singular [[homology group]] ''H''<sub>1</sub>(''X'').
 
=== Map from Out ===
Since the derived subgroup is [[Characteristic subgroup|characteristic]], any automorphism of ''G'' induces an automorphism of the abelianization. Since the abelianization is abelian, inner automorphisms act trivially, hence this yields a map
:<math>\mbox{Out}(G) \to \mbox{Aut}(G^{\mbox{ab}})</math>

A while back, I read an post that explained how to get a excellent google rating with out ever submitting your site to their submission forms. Like you, I was type of shocked by this statement so I decided to give it a try.

In the starting, I employed to submit my web site all the time to Google but soon realized the magnitude of my failure. Of course, it is a identified fact that Google relies solely on your hyperlink recognition and content material.

Hyperlink Popularity?

What that indicates is the quantity of hyperlinks (yousite.com) listed on other web sites that are associated to yours! The much more internet sites that hyperlink to you, the greater your popularity!

So once again, Google depends on your link recognition! If you don"t have a google rating (In other words, is your hyperlink located on google?) some web sites WILL NOT hyperlink to yours. Browse here at the link link building specialist to study the meaning behind this idea. There are many sites that have a excellent google rating and have certain regulations to whom they will accept inside their resource sections. They will specify that your website must be listed inside Google and if they variety in your website in the google search bar, your web site really should be listed inside the leading 5 web sites.

Here"s The Theory:

Of program you want all websites to hyperlink to you, specially the ones who already have a wonderful google rating since that means that your internet site will be picked up by google. If you are concerned by protection, you will maybe want to discover about contextual link building services. Some people only try to get links from these internet sites but just don"t forget, we all had to commence someplace.

My suggestion is to do as many hyperlink exchanges as feasible and especially make certain that each and every website is especially categorized by their content. You will get penalized for possessing a single page complete of links to web sites that do not relate to every other.

One more tiny "Timbit", attempt to preserve your pages to 1-20 links inside each and every page. Once you have 20 hyperlinks, add a button to a (Web page two) and continue your sources that way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Here"s an example of our "Resource Section"

discover how every single category has specific sites that get listed within them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so I went a tiny off subject with respect to this report but you will see how every little thing is connected collectively. When google begins ranking your website, you don"t want to leave any stone left un-turned.

So back to finding a google rank without having submitting your site. When you begin performing link exchanges with other internet sites, just preserve on going and going and I promise that ultimately, Google will start choosing up some of your hyperlinks on other sites. As soon as this begins to come about you"re google rank will rise.

So just maintain performing what you"re doing and let Google do it"s personal thing. When your ready and you are link acceptance grows, then you can submit your web site to Google and reap the rewards.

So several businesses do this method backwards and wonder why they never get listed in Google. Or like what occurred to me, Google lists your website right away but then in a couple of weeks, presto, your website is gone from their listing and your left confused as to why!. To explore additional information, consider checking out: quality backlinks.
